People began to dream of eternal life since they realized their mortality. That is why they endowed their gods with immortality, which they supported either with the help of an elixir, or taking water from a source of eternal youth, or eating rejuvenating apples.
Anyway, until now, mankind is looking for a “magic” pill that gives, if not eternal life, then at least a very long one.
The quest for immortality
The first who began to look for an opportunity to live happily ever after were the Sumerians. This is stated in the oldest epic about Gilgamesh known on Earth. When the protagonist of the epic was struck by the death of his friend, he decided that he did not want such a fate, and went in search of the flower of immortality.
Every nation on the planet has its own legends about daredevils who found the secret of eternal youth and became like gods. For example, in the epic of the ancient Indians “Mahabharata” it is the sap of an unknown tree that gives a person the opportunity to live 10,000 years.
Legends about the "living" water exist among many peoples, including the ancient Slavs, who "placed" a mysterious source on the unknown island of Buyan in the middle of the ocean. The inhabitants of the islands, on the contrary, send daredevils to a distant large land, where rejuvenating rivers flow.
Since they have been searching for eternal youth for more than 2000 years, it means that there is some grain of truth in all these myths and legends. Today, most often, talk about this is associated with Tibetan monks who allegedly found and sacredly protect the secret of their longevity.
Tibetan secrets
Tibet remains mysterious to this day. Closed to the world, Tibetan monks are still very reluctant to share their knowledge with others.
Their medicine is available exclusively to the elite, who have reached a certain level of enlightenment and purification of consciousness. No wonder the average life expectancy of these people is 90-100 years.
The source of the eternal youth of Tibetan monks is not a stream with anti-aging water, but is a human body in which all 3 basic elements in the body are harmoniously developed:
- the wind is the process of breathing and the work of the lungs, the element responsible for the psychological state of a person, his intellectual level and the activity of all processes in the body;
- bile is a symbol of fire, responsible for the energy that fills the body, and affects digestion;
- mucus is the element of water and earth that balance all the internal systems of the body.
Thus, the monks realized that the reason for eternal youth can be a combination of a calm mind with a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition. To achieve this, they have developed their own longevity system for thousands of years.
Tibetan longevity system
As the energy in vital organs decreases with age, the monks have developed recipes to help avoid this.
Yin energy is associated with cold, which causes diseases such as hypertension, cancer, heart attack, atherosclerosis, and many others. To counter this, you should increase the energy of yang in the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and spleen with the pancreas.
Recipes of eternal youth for internal organs are very simple, but if applied, aging of the body can be stopped for an indefinite period:
- pour 50 g of rice and 25 g of sesame seed with a glass of water and cook for 15 minutes, use once a day for a week;
- chop 100 g of St. John's wort, immortelle, birch buds and chamomile, before going to bed, brew 1 tbsp. a spoonful of the mixture in half a liter of water, let it brew, strain through a cloth and half drink with a teaspoon of honey in the evening, and the remaining minutes 20 minutes before breakfast;
- Pour 400 g of peeled garlic through the garlic, pour juice from 24 lemons, take 1 teaspoon of the mixture after a meal, diluted in a glass of water and previously mixed in a vessel.
Tibetan monks have many more secret rejuvenation methods that they carefully keep from strangers. These recipes were found in one of the monasteries scratched on clay tables in the 6th century BC. e.
Modern approach to the concept of immortality
Today, rejuvenation, eternal youth is an entire industry, which includes cosmetic companies, plastic surgery, technologies for working with the subconscious and manufacturers of dietary supplements.
Today, not the heroes of legends and alchemists are in search of immortality, but scientists with microscopes, psychologists with various techniques of working with the subconscious, and the healthy food industry. This is logical, since, having justified all the achievements of mankind over the past thousand years, scientists have come to the conclusion that longevity rests on the “three pillars”:
- physical activity;
- spiritual harmony;
- proper nutrition.
So, any inhabitant of the planet can choose for himself the best practices in all three directions in order to either slow down aging significantly or return the body to its former youth.
Obstacles to Longevity
As practice shows, only death can prevent eternal youth, since even age and the presence of diseases are not an obstacle to this.
After in medicine, for ease of treatment, the patient was “divided” into organs, thus narrowly focused medical specialties appeared, mortality in the world increased significantly. Today, medicine is beginning to return to what was still known to shamans in ancient tribes. Man is an interconnected spiritual, physical and subconscious system. When all three indicators are at a high level of development, a person lives for a long time, and senility of the body begins very late.
The first "whale of longevity"
Everyone chooses physical activity based on their own preferences, but the cardiovascular system is of the greatest importance for longevity. It is her doctors who recommend supporting, for which it is necessary to engage in walking or swimming in the summer and skiing in the winter.
In modern gyms, there are simulators with the definition of cardio loads, and experienced trainers can create an individual exercise program taking into account the age, weight and physical fitness of the client.
Care for the condition of the joints should not be neglected. In order for them to remain flexible and mobile as long as possible, experts recommend yoga classes or exercises on flexibility and stretching.
Breathing exercises
It should be noted that any physical exercises with improper breathing will not give the proper result, so those who want to live a long and full life will need to learn to breathe again.
Psychologists note that a harmonious and happy personality is distinguished by deep breathing with a full breath and the same, “from the soul”, exhalation. Most people breathe superficially without using the entire lung volume and abdominal cavity.
It is especially useful to develop the breathing skills adopted in yoga exercises - pranayama. To obtain the desired result, do the following:
- relax;
- take a breath in your stomach, counting to three;
- exhalation is performed by the stomach in the same way with a score of up to three;
- carry out a training of breathing in the stomach according to the scheme 3: 3 until then, until it becomes natural.
After such breathing will not require conscious control, you can proceed to the following scheme:
- leaving a breath in the stomach with a duration equal to three, we extend the exhale at first to 4, then to 5, and so on to ten;
- the next step is the reverse sequence from 10 to three, until the inhalation and exhalation of the stomach equal 3 to 3.
During the performance of these exercises, it is necessary to monitor all changes in the physical and emotional state. This type of breathing activates energy and “includes” all the cells in the body. At the same time, it undergoes intensive cleansing, which rejuvenates the body and returns to it the energy inherent in youth.
Harmonious state
The commandments of eternal youth and beauty, voiced by modern scholars, argue that it is impossible to live long without peace of mind. The law of acceptance is one of the fundamental in the universe.
It is very important to remember a simple truth: everything in this world is perfect and is good. All that does not correspond to these categories is the assessments of people who “make” in their minds the surrounding reality hostile and wretched.
The key to eternal youth (especially for women) is love and gratitude. To love yourself and the world around you, to thank all the events (good and bad) for the possibility of spiritual growth, say “yes” to life and receive joy from being, this is an element without which the elixir of eternal youth will not be effective.
Peace of mind can only be achieved by complete acceptance of oneself and one’s surroundings without appreciation, but calmly and with a smile. This skill, already several millennia inherent in eastern philosophy, is only beginning to reach the West. Psychologists advise using relaxation exercises and meditation practices.
Power of mind
There is no point in reminding that a modern person is constantly in a state of stress, most often for nothing. The anxiety of the mind, which Tibetan monks call poison, destroys the body with the same strength as bad habits.
If people pay attention to what they think during the day, they will be amazed. More than 90% of the most powerful force in the Universe — thoughts — goes to negativity and focus on the absence of anything (no money, no health, no love, etc.).
The wisdom of life is that a person always gets what he focuses on. Everyone knows about it, but only 5% of people on the planet put it into practice, they own 90% of all money, and there is no secret. Eternal youth attracts a person as a result, but at the same time he is afraid of death and thinks about it.
Meditation as a source of youth
Thought is the strongest emotional vibration to which the sensitive Universe always reacts. Any person can develop concentration skills, but meditation by many people is perceived as something inaccessible and incredibly complex.
In fact, meditation is a concentration on what brings joy and makes you happy. It can be an event from the past that fills you with a sense of joy, or a focus on what you want to have in the near future.
5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes before bedtime, devoted to concentrating on the desired result (recovery, meeting with love, career growth, etc.) will “force” the Universe to create the necessary happy events in reality in the same way as it creates problems, diseases and poverty, when a person focuses on the negative. An important rule in meditation is to drive away “left” thoughts that are not related to the main topic. At first there will be many, but regular practice of concentrating them will completely remove them.
Live food
Nutrition is the source of vital forces or their absence, if it is wrong. To live long, you should follow several rules in the diet:
- it should be moderate, without overeating;
- the main source of food should be vegetables, fruits, nuts and cereals;
- food should be properly cooked (not to be undercooked, overcooked, etc.);
- regularly use spices and fresh herbs.
One of the most important factors in nutrition is being in the moment here and now in order to feel every piece of food and enjoy it.
Youth-friendly recipes
Many people do not understand that longevity is work, like eternal youth. The recipe for eternal youth is a combination of all factors affecting the state of the human body. Among them are the daily use of food, which provides cleansing and renewal of the body:
- 50g of wheat or barley to germinate and eat before breakfast (or instead of it);
- steamed and infused 2 tbsp. tablespoons of bran in a glass of boiling water give saturation and remove toxins and toxins from the body;
- rejuvenation occurs with regular use of a decoction of 1 cup of oats, boiled in 1 liter of water (the liquid should evaporate by a quarter), drink half a glass 3 times a day.
There are many recipes that rejuvenate the body, everyone can choose any one to taste and ease of preparation.
Rejuvenation Drinks
In addition to products, a drink of eternal youth - pure water - is very important for longevity. It removes toxins, cleanses the body at the cellular level and gives energy. You can independently prepare "silver" water, which has antibacterial properties.
To do this, the silver object must be heated, lowered into a vessel with water and insisted for 24 hours. It is this water that is called “living”, as it forms neural connections between cells, activates the brain.
Tibetan tea of eternal youth from Sudanese rose, drunk daily, cleanses the body and restores skin elasticity, restoring its radiance.
